you recognize the way you're literally not meant to ask a lady how previous she is? nicely it truly is the same theory: once you examine with a "lady" as lady, you're in a way acknowleding her in a way that "preserves" her elegance. women or "women" do not date little boys nonetheless depending on mommy, they want a mature guy not a depenent BOY. a guy looks after organisation and ought to provide for a lady and a kinfolk....a BOY won't be able to. some women do not ideas being called "lady"....others do... That lady less than me is only a bitter, militant feminist- she isn't something better than in simple terms one OPINION.

I'm guilty of calling women girls. It's by no means a show of disrespect. It's just something I do. Why do I do it? Because in my head it means the same as females.

Slang. If I say, "Look at that chick!" (or bird for the Brits) do you expect to see a hen?

Habit, probably. Because we hear other people do it so often, the habit perpetuates itself.
Like the whole 'Wassap!' thing, basically.
